Mind the Curves is a fashion and lifestyle blog for ladies with curvy bodies living in South Africa. It is written by the Girl in the Pearls, a professional journalist, editor and content strategist based in Cape Town. She cares very deeply about the topic of body positivity.
For a long time it’s something she wanted to write about, and it seemed like a very good idea, until it evolved into something that involved having her pictures taken, which is much easier said than done when you can’t take yourself seriously and like to pull funny faces and make silly noises very much.
Thank you for joining her on this journey. She hopes, together, that we can learn to love and rock what we got.
Wearing the maxi-dress: 
"Like a sprite, she rose from the water."
But really, I just splashed around in the duck-poo-infested pond at the castle.
The dress is really lovely though. Flowing and graceful, it has a grecian quality to it. Looking at it now, I wonder if I shouldn’t have worn it with a gold rope belt.
To achieve a chic summer look, you can add a stylish hat and jewelry to match.
